Link Wheel Web 2.0

2011-05-31T19:01:00.000-07:00

Building a quality Link Wheel will improve your SERP results. Ask any SEO Pro and he will tell you, the more quality as in, high PR (pagerank) backlinks you have to your site and internal pages, the better and faster your site will rank with Google in the SERP's.

I designed this link wheel to demonstrate what a well structured link wheel should include. There are four main Web 2.0 buckets to each link wheel I build.

Link Wheel Web 2.0 Buckets

Audio
Video
Images
Text/Articles

I get better (and faster) results getting quality links from these top tier sites than other SEO guys get that shoot for getting hundreds more links from sites with a lower pagerank. My experience shows that the 20% / 80% rule applies to link building. If you have strong on-page optimization and a solid link wheel with high PR sites, you will do better than those sites that have more links to lesser PR sites. Social Media Marketing Plus carries a PR4 and this didn't happen over night! Slow and steady link building is the model I follow and I suggest you do too!

Mobile Websites for Small Businesses

2011-02-17T06:21:00.000-08:00

Mobile Websites for Small Businesses

You need a “mobile friendly” website and you know you do. You’ve been reading everywhere that mobile marketing is booming and that 2010 is the year for mobile to finally take off. Now that 2010 is upon us and mobile phones outnumber computers 4 to 1, what should you be asking yourself when as you try to decide if you should in fact, launch your new mobile website?
Does your mobile website render?

FACT: Less than 1% of all small business websites even render on a mobile device. You’d be surprised how many small business owners simply assume their site will render the same way on an iPhone as on a PC and never think to check. If that’s you, then you are unknowingly leaving your customers out in the cold when they try to bring up your site on a mobile device and find it doesn’t load. With so many people using smart phones, iPhones, Blackberry’s and Droid’s to search in today’s mobile environment, you simply can’t afford to guess anymore. You need to be absolutely sure that your site is rendering on mobile devices and if it’s not — you need to take immediate steps to fix it. 10 Reasons Your Website Should Go Mobile
Optimize for Local Search
Make sure your site is optimized for “local search“. This means that people should be able to find you when they are looking for local resources. Update your profile and include links to your mobile site (if you have one) and make it easy for users to find your business and more importantly “reach out and touch your business”. Yellow Pages just aren’t what they used to be. Google Place is free and will drive significant targeted traffic to your website.
What are your customers looking for?
Don’t assume a mobile website visitor has the same needs and wants as a traditional desktop user – because they don’t. Someone accessing your site from their desktop may be interested in reading reference or authority articles and willing to scan your whole site for content. Whereas, a mobile device visitor probably wants to see just the headlines. They want small sound bytes, your location, your office hours, your phone number. You want to find out what exactly their goal is and then customize an experience specifically for them. Unless you already know, the best way to find out is to ask them by adding a form or survey to your mobile site.
Target the Right Customers
The goal for any web site should be to know your customers in order to deliver to them the most appropriate content. This goal is even more important with mobile sites. Not only do you need to know your customers, but you need to know what they are likely to be doing on your mobile site, as well as where they’ll be when they’re doing it. Traditional web site customers are most likely sitting at a desk facing a large monitor that has a decent resolution. Visitors who are browsing your mobile site are unlikely to be in the same circumstances — they might be waiting in line, riding on the train or the bus, running to the departure gate, or lost in an unfamiliar town late at night and trying to get somewhere.
Is your mobile website optimized for mobile search?
Your website should be crawl-able by the Mobile search engines. Here’s the list of mobile search engines:

How to Optimize for Mobile Search

Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast
Industry experts predict that the mobile web will overtake the desktop environment in less than 3 years. There’s already twice as many mobile devices as there are PC’s. One of the first things a small business owner should do (before its too late) is to register their unique domain name with the .mobi extension. Our Small Business Package includes registering your .mobi domain and hosting your new mobile website for one year at no additional charge. Click Here for more details.
Build a Customer List

Mobile Marketing is Booming. There are dozens of mobile marketing solutions available. We have researched many service offerings and have found Trumpia to be cost effective and very simple to use. The Trumpia 15 day free trial makes is easy to test-drive. One of the nice things about Trumpia is their credit roll-over program. I like their simple yet robust back office administrator panel for tracking active SMS Marketing campaigns.
Mobile Website for Small Businesses
In mobile marketing, Size and Speed matters. When you first start out, avoid video and high resolution images so your site loads fast and gives the customer instant access to the information they seek. Once your site is established and you’ve worked out the kinks, you can add video and other high bandwidth content. Initially, you want to make it fast and easy for your customers to:

Summary
The above represents the key questions and issues every small business owner should ask themselves when thinking about getting a new custom mobile website. It’s simply not good enough to “think” your site loads properly. In today’s on-the-go environment, you not only need a mobile presence, you need an optimized mobile presence that improves your brand and taps into the fast growing mobile audience.

How To Surf Faster Online

2010-07-22T12:53:00.000-07:00

Let’s face it; quick Internet surfing has certainly made life easy in terms of being able to find things or information online in almost no time in all, but of course, it hasn’t always been this way. In fact, you can probably remember how slow the Internet used to be when it first started becoming popular.
Yes, the computers nowadays are also so much faster than what they used to be a few years ago, but while this may help, it’s certainly not responsible for fast Internet surfing. Instead, the only reason we have quick Internet surfing is because web hosting companies have mastered what they do, in that they are now able to utilize space more effectively, thus allowing for web sites to load as fast as possible.
The bandwidth that is being used to operate a site allows more flow of traffic on the site before it gets bogged down. If the site host has a good idea of how much traffic they can expect then they can plan for it by upgrading the bandwidth. They can also limit the use of pictures and video so that the response speed is not compromised when someone lands on their site.
When a consumer gets online, they are doing one of two things. They are either looking for particular information about a specific subject or they are just cruising the super highway to see what is out there. In either case they want to get to the information quickly and not have to wait for a site to load. The internet is being used as a quick way to get info and if the site is not quick then people will not visit that site for the information.
When a person searches for something on the Internet, they are presented with a list of potential sites which they can visit in order to get the information they’re looking for.

How To Increase Your Search Engine Ranking

2010-07-22T11:23:00.000-07:00

No Comments »

If you are someone who has a website you should probably know that to be successful you need to get traffic to your website. You should also know that if you can get traffic to your website periodically you will have high search engines ranking. Surely you can get traffic to your website for a short period of time if you use such services as Adwords and Pay Per Click (PPC). But you should also know that PPC advertising is very expensive now and its traffic comes only in the case when you pay for it. If you stop paying for it you stop getting traffic.

The same cannot be said about top search engine ranking. When you get to the top position in search engine ranking you get new customers. In other words you’ll get traffic from top search engines every day without paying anything to the visitor. So what should you do to get top search engine ranking for the terms of your search that will reflect your business? There are a number of important factors such as good keyword research, nice content on your website, but the most important factor in this case is, of course, having many backlinks to your website. The more relevant links you have the better for you. As you know people who search the internet for any information don’t go beyond the first two pages of the search results. So it is important for you to be on the top of search engine ranking.

Here are some ways to increase your search engine ranking:

First of all you can participate in online forums and send comments on blogs, submit your website URL to online directories, write articles or just hire link builders to do link building for your website. You can also send e-mails to other websites and ask them to exchange links.

However, there are many minuses in these methods as first of all they require time and every day work, cost fortune, and also there is no guarantee that they will be effective. So the best thing to do here is just to buy relevant links that will increase your search engine ranking.

You can buy relevant links or the services of a person or an organization that can get this relevant links for you, but just keep in mind that the cost for this services may become higher quickly. As far as I know the lowest price to buy a relevant link is about 3 dollars. To avoid spending much money for buying relevant links many internet entrepreneurs created such kind of link networks as 3WayLinks, Backlinks4U.com,1WayLinks, LinkVana, Neurolinker, etc. These networks work really and help you to save both your money and time. And what is the most interesting part is that they are cheaper than buying links and both affordable and effective. So referring to these networks would be a good idea for you.

10 tips to help your mobile website soar in the Search Engines

2010-05-13T09:39:00.000-07:00

It was inevitable. Along with mobile websites, comes mobile website SEO. But is it really so different from "regular" SEO?

Here are 10 tips to help your mobile website soar in the Search Engines

1. Top of the list - make sure you create a mobile Site Map. This piece of XML code is directly from Google Webmaster Central, and Google recommends that, for once, you avoid Sitemap Creation tools.

(Whatever you do, don't omit the tag, or your mobile site won't be crawled.

2. Each mobile Site Map must have a name that is unique - but "URLs serving multiple markup languages can be listed in a single Site Map".

3. If you use the Google Sitemap Generator to create your Site Map with, Google cautions that you will "need to create a separate config file for each Mobile Sitemap.

4. Don't use huge titles. "21 Tips for Turning your Hamster into a Money-Making Machine While Helping Him Lose Weight" is just not gonna cut it, for a mobile site. Think "short blog post headline, instead. Keep it really, really simple.

5. Don't forget to submit it to Google webmasters, just as you would with a regular Site Map.

6. When it comes to mobile blogs, if you've set them up properly with the right plug-ins, SEO isn't such a problem. But do remember that if you don't submit your blogs and websites to mobile directories - you'll be invisible. All the SEO in the world won't be able to help you, if you don't seem to exist!

7. Keep an eye on SEO Principle.com, which reports all the latest SEO news from Google (specifically, from Matt Cutts, head of Google's Webspam team. (Also check out the YouTube Google Webmaster Central channel for the latest SEO news.) Cutts is the guy with all the facts and figures: He reports more than 4 billion mobiles world-wide to only 1 billion PC's. Says Cuts about the planned expansion of Google's Search features: "...mobile is going to be a big part of it." (Again - get in on the leading edge!)

8. Drive traffic to your mobile website with a YouTube video - with your mobile site URL and a call to action prominently displayed. If you've ever used Google's mobile web index, it should strike you that most of the results are YouTube pages. This may not be a sure-fire SEO strategy for ever - but it sure seems to be working, right now!

9. Check out the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices. You'll find out all sorts of helpful data, including "keep your pages under 21k" and tips for SEO

10. Meet Googlebot-Mobile, a very special bot that looks for "mobile-friendly" sites, and includes them in Google's mobile web index. So far he hasn't been doing a very good job - but then again, maybe countless people aren't bothering with those all important Site Maps.

Googlebot-Squarepants, er, I mean "Mobile", is a lot slower than other search bots, according to SEOprinciple.com, taking about 2 weeks to complete a "rotation".

When all is said and done, mobile SEO is still in its infancy. By all means follow the tips I've included here - but first and foremost, you need to concentrate on make your blog useful, interesting - and worth coming back to.

SEOs Dissect How To Rank In Local Search

2010-03-24T19:48:00.000-07:00

by Matt McGee

Twenty-seven local search marketers from the U.S., Canada, and Europe have shared their opinions and insights in the second edition of the Local Search Ranking Factors. Organized by David Mihm, it’s a project that aims to help local businesses understand how Google and Yahoo rank local businesses.

David sent out a questionnaire listing 49 possible factors that affect local search rankings, and invited the participants (disclaimer: I’m one of them) to rank each factor on a scale ranging from “very important for ranking well” to “can hurt your ranking/lead to penalty.” According to the panel, the five factors with the most significant positive effect on local rankings are:

Having your Google/Yahoo local business listing with the address in the city being searched
Having citations from major data providers, such as infoUSA, Localeze, and Internet yellow pages providers
Associating your local business listing in the proper categories
Having a claimed, verified local business listing with Google/Yahoo
Having your product/service keywords (i.e., “hair salon,” “attorney”) in the title of your local business listing

Since the survey is in its second year, there are interesting comparisons you can make between what mattered last year and what matters now. David makes some of those comparisons on his blog. If local search is important to you, the Local Search Ranking Factors is a must read.

Google: Location a "Hugely Important" Signal | WebProNews

2010-03-23T10:31:00.000-07:00

Google: Location a "Hugely Important" Signal

If Location's Not a Big Part of Your Strategy, It Will Be

Google made a couple of interesting comments at a mobile marketing and advertising event in Vegas. Michael at Mobile Marketing Watch reports that Diana Pouliot – Director of Mobile Advertising at Google says a third of all Google searches via the mobile web pertain to some aspect of the searcher's local environment.

In addition, Google Mobile Ads Group Product Manager Paul Feng reportedly said, "We think of location as a hugely important signal."

So just how important of a signal is location to Google? Feng may have been talking about ad relevance specifically, but we know it plays some role in organic search. Otherwise, people would not get different search results based on where they are, which has been the case for some time. Perhaps the real question is whether location will start carrying more weight as searchers increasingly turn to their mobile devices for a greater percentage of their queries.

Location is already playing a significant role in the way people are searching on their mobile devices, and not just with search engines. WebProNews had an interesting discussion with RateItAll President Lawrence Coburn at the Online Marketing Summit last month about how consumers sharing their location has in essence become a new way of sending out a generic query, one that is becoming more prevalent with the growing popularity of location-sharing services like Gowalla and Foursquare.

"The thing about Foursquare and Gowalla, and these check-in apps, is like, a single tap of your phone is a powerful piece of data. It creates a connection with the merchant (with a bar or a restaurant) that you're at," explains Coburn. "It tells your friends where you are, and then in the aggregate, it tells the services like Foursquare and Gowalla what places are hot. And then you can imagine, like a local coupon or a local ad network overlaid on top, where a business is having a slow Tuesday, and they can blast out to everybody in their neighborhood, and say 'hey, we're doing half off beers in our place RIGHT NOW,' and they can decide that on the fly, and reach a community that's right around them."

Despite apps like these, Twitter now has location features, and Facebook is expected to have some very soon. That has to be considered a whole new ballgame, not only because of the popularity of these social networks, but their relationships with the search engines. The social networks are already becoming more integrated into search results through real-time search, as well as social search (not to mention the web in general through Facebook Connect, APIs, etc.). Given Google's fondness for delivering relevant results and an increased rate of user location sharing, it's hard not to imagine location becoming more of a factor in search than ever.

In recent months, Google has already begun placing a great deal more emphasis on location than it has in the past. For example, last month, the search engine added a new search option to its list, called "nearby." This lets users filter their results based on either their default location or a custom one.

"Location has become an important part of the way we search. If you're a foodie looking for restaurant details, food blogs or the closest farmer's market, location can be vital to helping you find the right information," said Product Manager Jackie Bavaro of the feature. "One of the really helpful things about this tool is that it works geographically — not just with keywords — so you don't have to worry about adding 'Minneapolis' to your query and missing webpages that only say 'St. Paul" or "Twin Cities.'"

Another example of Google's recent emphasis on location would be the tailoring of search suggestions to user location, a feature introduced in January.

On the advertising side of things, Google is already targeting ads based on location. The company even released ads with click-to-call phone numbers recently.

Google is optimistic that ad rates may beat the desktop standard in time. "We hope and believe that there's even a chance that we could exceed desktop in the future," Google's Vic Gundotra reportedly said last week. Location information will no doubt play a significant role in the quest for achieving such a goal. The fact of the matter is that location makes targeting easier in many cases, and location is much more of a factor when it comes to mobile. Back to Google's comments in Vegas, Feng is said to have hinted at Google working on improving ad formats soon, with features that would include "new forms of user interaction," including navigation.

Regardless of location's role in search, businesses are already finding great benefits from users sharing their location information. Here are some things I mentioned in a previous article that you can do as a small business to stay ahead of the curve with regards to user-location sharing:

1. Keep up with what mobile apps are popular on the most popular devices

2. Study what makes these apps and their respective users tick.

3. Determine which of these has a functionality that your business can directly take advantage of

4. Verify your business at Google's Local Business Center

5. Keep a close eye on what Google is doing in the local search space (there are frequent announcements that directly relate to this)

6. Keep a close eye on how Twitter users interact with geo features, particularly those who follow you

7. Definitely keep a close eye on Facebook announcements, looking for geo-related tidbits to drop

8. When using social media, include your business location in updates when appropriate, and promote offers (time-sensitive perhaps) that encourage nearby people to stop in (if you have a brick and mortar store) or meet for a quote at a nearby restaurant for example (be creative…without being too stalkerish)
